HOSA'S 19TH ANNUAL WASHINGTON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
From September 20 - 23, 2025, our state officer team had the amazing opportunity to attend HOSA's annual Washington Leadership Academy. This wonderful conference allowed us to network, meet with other delegations, as well as advocate for career and technical education. As we worked through several leadership training sessions, we've grown as individuals and as a team to serve the Missouri HOSA delegation to our full capacity. From covering topics such as character strengths to the NMDP, this conference has shown us the commitment it takes and what it truly means to be a leader. As a team, we are beyond grateful of having experienced WLA and getting to network. We hope to bring back the skills and knowledge we have gained to give back to our members as we start off our year!
